The relief efforts are continuing in Haiti and as more and more news stories break, more graphic and horrible photographs are released. I wont link them here because you can find them on many news sites already. These images and news stories are disturbing and very sad. Many photos and videos look like scenes from a violent movie and its hard to comprehend that it is actually happening. These are REAL people dealing with REAL devastation. Official numbers are not out yet on the death toll and those who have been injured(last checked the number was in the 10s of thousands), because it is only the beginning.

At the time the earthquake happened, Doctors Without Borders (DWB) had 3 medical clinics up and running in Port au Prince and surrounding areas. They have ALL been severely damaged. Passport Health has worked closely with DWB in providing them with supplies and vaccinations to help them in their medical endeavors around the world and we would like to ask all of you to help them as well.

They need it now more than ever. Donate now and 100% of your donation will go towards the Hatian earthquake relief.

Thank you for your support and our thoughts are with all those affected by this horrible tragedy.
